Last night was one of those games that really messes with your WPA totals, since there were so many crucial situations from the 8th inning on. We’ll get to that later this week, but today I want to look at two batting stats: line drive percentage (LD%) and batting average on balls in play (BABIP). […]

Braves Chart of the Day: May 6, 2009
Stolen bases are the focus of today’s chart. Specifically, MLB’s stolen base leaders (through Monday). Carl Crawford has really been burning up the basepaths this year. You’re probably aware that he recently stole six bases in a single game. There’s a familiar face at the end of the list. Tied for 25th place is the […]
Bisons topple Reddies + Other Notes
Thursday night, the Bisons defeated Henderson State 73-60, evening their GSC record at 4-4. They needed to win that one, since it’s arguably their easiest conference game, and the schedule only gets tougher from this point forward. Kevin Brown and Trent Morgan each had 19 points, although Morgan required 18 shots to get to his […]
Harding played basketball games last week?
I actually knew they did, but I’ve been moving pretty constantly since the middle of last week, and I haven’t had the chance to write up game summaries. It’s a good thing I don’t blog for a living, although I bet I could be decent at it if I didn’t have a pesky regular job. […]
Bison Basketball ranked #24 in latest NABC poll
The Bisons have never been ranked in an in-season NABC/Division-II coaches’ poll, at least not until now. They were ranked #21 in the preseason poll two years ago but quickly fell out. Two other GSC West teams are in the top 25, with UAM at #8 and Ouachita at #16. The only ranked team from […]
What I'm thankful for in 2008
Pretty much everyone has something to complain about these days. Most people around the world have been affected in some way by the flailing economy. Some people are very sad this time of year because the holidays always remind them of some kind of traumatic event that happened during a previous holiday season. Others hurt […]
Notes: November 14, 2008
This is a fascinating time of year for me. Not that there aren’t a lot of those times of year, but I especially love the fall season. College football is always compelling in November because of the BCS circus. I’m actually still competitive in all of my fantasy football leagues, which is a welcome change […]
A helpful reminder
I had a great experience in school, from the very earliest days in elementary school all the way through college. My high school made me study like I was already in college, and I was better off academically for it. Since McCallie is a private school, they rely on alumni giving as a source of […]
On the iPhone and other notes
I’ve been MIA on the blog for a week or two now, and even longer if you’ve been waiting for some kind of sports analysis. The Braves being out of contention will do that to a person, but I do plan to update the stats as the season closes. Every year, I always regret when […]
Notes for September 5, 2008
I’ve been keeping myself busy lately by preparing for three different fantasy football leagues. Now that the season is finally here, I’m in team-maintenance mode, which is far less time-consuming. As a result, I actually am going to post something on the blog, even if it’s just a few notes. This week, Google pretty […]
